This is exactly what the security industry needs. Outsiders disrupting the glacial pace of the big house trickle down engineering. Kudos to you sir!

Thank you for the good review.
It is great to have more solutions but I never understood what was the point to distinguish such kind of projects from the commercial alternatives? Access to the source code is doubtfully an advantage. They charge for their product and in order to use it you have to pay. Of course, there will be people who will or willing to work for free to create an open source end user solution but IMO it is insignificant part of the market. Moreover they have similar prices to the established vendors products. With the same price tag will you purchase ALPR from Genetec, ipConfigure or them just because you can see the source code?

One of our customers in Toronto chose OpenAlpr over another US based LPR solution due to their free trial software and superior support. The integrator setup a system at their office and tested it under variable lighting conditions (day, night, rain etc) and with a few different camera models and optics choices. The solution they deployed required a custom integration with ICT's ProtegeGX access control system and IVT Vision VMS. Vehicle plates entering a parking facility would be logged along with the plate number of the vehicle, the user credential along with an image of the driver and an image of the actual vehicle.
I would strongly recommend OpenALPR.

So I have been playing around with it this afternoon (just the API/CLI) free version) its not bad. you do need to make sure everything is configured properly and have a really good angle on your camera for the best results.
I will say if you stream straight from the camera live stream I have only been able to get it to work off of MJPEG shots as it doesn't seem to support raw .h264/rtsp( which makes sense) but is kinda deceptive from the documentation.
I had it running on some old and busted desktop hardware and it seemed to run rather well considering. I am awfully interested in the GPU acceleration option as if it works you could cut down on hardware cost tremendously. sadly I dont have anything available to test it at the moment

SimpleLPR worked better for me. The price was less, my application is working with up to 4 cameras on a server. It processes MJPEG streams. I can detect the license plate and send it to Genetec SC where I get it with a TCP server macro, and add as bookmark, or even I can parse a blacklist/whitelist text file for match and control relays, etc. If you dont need expensive highend solution then its a good low cost LPR for smaller or even mid-sized systems.

Does SimpleLPR process MJPEG streams? SimpleLPR's manual lists support for still image formats: JPEG, TIFF, PNG and BMP. Also, SimpleLPR does not support USA plates and H.264 video. As a forensic tool it would be somewhat useful but you can save $450 by using OpenALPR's open source for non-commercial use and accomplish the same results.

" it would not be difficult to feed data into a POS interface for a VMS"
Can you clarify what "POS" means in this instance?
This is better than some of the other cloud solutions I have seen which requires the camera to have Internet access, which isn't always the case. Having the agent run on a computer, be it the VMS computer or a separate one that has access to the camera network and also the Internet, is much more universal and flexible.

OpenALPR introduced new Cloud Stream service plans, including a free plan and lowered the price of its monthly service. We have also introduced an Axis camera Agent and ALPR as a Service (no VMS, no server, no annual contract required). See http://www.openalpr.com/cloud-stream.html for details.

And they now seem to have Milestone support.
